A control circuit for an attachment mounting device that has a closed position for securing an implement and an opened position for releasing an implement. The control circuit includes at least one hydraulic actuator, a control valve and an auto-close feature. The control valve has at least a first energized position and a second energized position. The first energized position applies pressurized fluid to the at least one hydraulic actuator to actuate the attachment mounting device into the clo...

A circuit or system having application for operating an implement or attachment for a power machine is disclosed. The circuit includes a first or primary valve, a second or auxiliary valve connected in series with the first valve and a supplemental line connected in parallel with the second valve to provide fluid to a supplemental system in parallel with the second valve.

A sweeper including a rotating brush or drum supported by a float arm movably coupled to a bucket. The float arm is coupled to a linkage to movably support the float arm between a retracted position and a forward position. Float arm is supported independently of a hood connected to the bucket and is movable through linkage relative to hood. In an illustrated embodiment, float arm is rotationally coupled to linkage to compensate for height variations and/or provide a mechanism to rotate linkage t...

A power machine including a transmission, a chain case, a motor and a hydraulic cylinder having a rod end and a base end and a plurality of hose couplings. The hydraulic cylinder coupled to a chain case such that the base end and all of the hose couplings are mounted within an interior portion of the chain case and such that the rod end of the hydraulic cylinder extends outside the chain case.

A diagnostic application or system for a power machine is disclosed. The diagnostic application or system generates a diagnostic menu to select one or more diagnostic items for diagnostic monitoring. Sensor data for the selected items is retrieved from one or more sensors and displayed on an electronic display device. In the embodiments described, the application or system includes a graphical user interface component configured to generate a display options menu including one or more user selec...

A suspension system for a track vehicle, the suspension system comprising: a frame; a track surrounding the frame; a plurality of suspension modules resiliently interconnected between the frame and track to bias the track into engagement with a ground surface upon which the track vehicle sits; and at least one idler over which the track extends. Under a normal load, all weight of the track vehicle is borne by the suspension modules and not by the at least one idler. Under selected conditions the...

An attachment configured to be attached to a power machine is disclosed. The attachment includes a blade having opposing first and second major surfaces and first and second edges. The attachment has first and second end plates each having opposing inner and outer surfaces. The end plates are fixedly attached to the first and second edges of the blade. The inner surfaces of the first and second end plates are positioned adjacent to and extend from the first major surface of the blade. The attach...

A ride-on operator platform or sulky is used in connection with a small self-propelled loader to provide a support for an operator. The operator platform is pivotally mounted to the loader about a generally horizontal axis, and has a rear support engaging the surface over which the loader is operating to maintain the operator platform at a desired position relative to the surface. The upward pivoting of rear portions of the operator platform is limited by stop members, and substantial downward p...

A system and method for substantially simultaneously shifting the speed of a plurality of multiple-speed motors that have shifting valves. The system and method includes substantially simultaneously applying an equal shifting force to all shifting valves, resisting shifting of all shifting valves with an equal biasing force arising from deflection of springs contained in springs chambers, and fluidly communicating all spring chambers with a common receptacle to equalize the pressure in all sprin...

A pair of pivoting parts are held together with a pin, with a first part, such as a rod end of a hydraulic actuator, positioned between two flanges of a bracket, with the flanges having surfaces mating with sides surfaces of the rod end. A seal is placed in each of a pair of recesses on the opposite side surfaces of the rod end to provide an annular seal around the surface of the pin as the parts pivot, and also having a flange forming a side seal that seats on one of the mating surfaces of the ...
